Overview
- Dowdle was fined $14,491 for unsportsmanlike conduct after a touchdown celebration that referenced a Key & Peele sketch with two hip thrusts.
- He launched a GoFundMe on November 5 with a pledge that 100% of donations will go to the Children’s Home Society of North Carolina.
- The fundraiser has surpassed $44,000, far exceeding the amount of the NFL fine.
- Keegan-Michael Key publicly backed Dowdle’s effort and contributed $15,000 to the campaign.
- Agent David Canter says the fine is being appealed, and a Friday news conference in North Carolina will present the proceeds to the charity.
